Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

HAS SPRING SPRUNG??

First thing, all the pictures were taken with my cell phone. Note to self put extra camera in truck.

This week has turned out to be real nice, I think spring has sprung and is here to stay,I hope after all I do live in Missouri and the weather can change in no time,Friday we got up to 71.

Friday afternoon we went for a walk in Parkville,MO it’s about 4 miles from the house and sits right on the Missouri River. It’s also home to Park College named after the founder of Parkville.

Sunday we do the spring forward thing on the clocks. I guess that’s means spring is here.

  

Kind of  hard to see in this picture the college sit’s on a hill overlooking the river.

This old home sits on the bottom of the hill toward the river and by the train tracts. It’s one of the oldest home’s in the county.

There are several of these old and very large trees that sit along the banks of the Missouri,make me wander how much history and flooding they have seen.

As always we hope everyone has a good and safe week.
